I bet that you don't know that at one time, chicken was VERY expensive and to have roast chicken, for Sunday dinner, here in the USA, meant that you were well off. :-)

Now, it is reasonably "cheap" and once very CHEAP foods, such as short ribs a flank steak are expensive.

Relative prices always fluctuate.

Probably due to supply and demand. Used
to be able to buy 10 for a buck chicken
wings. The last batch I bought was 12
for around $6.00. They’ve become very
popular with the “wingstreet” crowd.
Got hooked on bird hunting and have
eaten just about every kind of duck,
quail, pheasant, goose, and sandhill
crane. These weren’t cheap, as license
fees, decoys, ammunition, waders, a
shotgun, and a warm, waterproof
parka, add to the cost.
I’ve seen squab on the menu at some
restaurants, but didn’t think a Pigeon
was worth $25.00 plus tip...

There's plenty of free pigeon meat to be had today.

Clubs throughout the US raise them for sport, but few for the meat. they are good producers and a normal loft has to cull them.

I know. I have twenty pair, Homing pigeons. Also called Racing pigeons.

Surprising no one brought it up so far.
